In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title complex, [Hg2Cl4(C12H9N3O2)2], the HgII ion is in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment formed by the N atoms of the diimine ligand, two bridging Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom. One of the bridging Hg—Cl bonds is significantly longer than the other.

The title complex was prepared by the reaction of HgCl2 (22.7 mg, 0.1 mmol) and (4-nitrophenyl)pyridin-2-ylmethyleneamine (27.2 mg, 0.1mmol) in 15 ml acetonitrile at room temperature. The solution was then concentrated under vacuum, and diffusion of diethyl ether vapor into the concentrated solution gave yellow crystals of the title compound in 60% yield.
The H- atom positions were calculated and refined in a riding model approximatiom with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In our ongoing studies on the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization of transition metal complexes with diimine ligands (Dehghanpour et al., 2007; Mahmoudi et al., 2009), we report herein the crystal structure of the title complex. The title compound was prepared by the reaction of HgCl2 with (4-nitrophenyl)pyridin-2-ylmethyleneamine.
The molecluar structure of the title complex is shown in Fig. 1. The unique HgII ion in is in a distorted square pyramidal coordination environment formed by a bis-chelating ligand, two bridging Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom.
